Vintage-inspired watches are hit and miss, but I’ve got to say that this redesign of Tissot’s 1971 Sideral is pretty cool. The original design featured a fiberglass case, whereas this newest iteration utilizes a really cool black/blue marbled forged carbon. Paired with the supple rubber strap and equipped with 300m WR, this watch will hold it’s own for any diver. I can’t go any farther without praising the lume on the dial. I’m a major lume fan and I was VERY impressed with how well they get all colors glowing! Usually red lume is muted, but they did a really nice job. Powered by the Powermatic 80 and protected with sapphire crystal, you get the feeling that this watch could withstand some rigorous use.  That said, as that’s NOT how I wear my watches, this one is in like-new condition. Oh, and did I mention that it comes with a bonus, custom-made Aaron Bespoke Alcantara strap? The stitching matches the color accents perfectly and wears very comfortably. Sized well at 41.0mm x 41.0mm, it will fit every wrist. Thickness is 14.4mm and the 20mm lug width makes your strap options limited only by your creativity. Watch comes as a complete kit, including purchase receipt dated Sept 2024. As mentioned, I will be including the Aaron strap, made specifically for this watch. A swiss-made, retro-inspired diver in a forged carbon case, you’re getting some serious bang for your buck. That package would run you just shy of 1.2k new, but I’m only asking for $695 USD shipped to your door. Payment via Paypal (all fees are the responsibility of the buyer) or EMT for my fellow Canucks. Watch located in Canada.
